Union Minister to join Naga peace talks, NSCN I-M says ‘encouraging’
The Indian government will include a Union Minister in the Naga peace talks, responding to the NSCN (I-M)'s demand for political representation. This decision, welcomed by the NSCN (I-M), aims to expedite the political process and foster momentum towards a lasting settlement. The talks are set to proceed with renewed urgency following the appointment of Ajit Lal as the Centre's pointsman seven months ago.
